I’m a firm believer in authenticity and honesty - and thus I have to report that I was underwhelmed this year at Sled Island - not the festival itself, but the fashion. After many years of amazing festivals and street style huntress adventures, this year felt a bit lacklustre. Of course I found some goodies (pictured above and below), but it took days to acquire and photograph what would usually only take just one evening at the festival in years’ past.
Perhaps as much as I’m an 80’s kid and 90’s teenager, I’m just not that into the ‘grungy’ fashion that seemed to take the trend lead at the festival this year? That’s one explanation…
That being said, I had a great time as per usual checking out bands and amazing restaurants and coffee shops in the Downtown Core, as well as my Instagram Takeover for Downtown Calgary - for those of you who caught my instastories, I hope you enjoyed the adventure as much as I did. I’m grateful to the stylish old and new friends that I did make, and look forward to more festival fun at Folk Festival in a few weeks. Until then, I’m street style hopeful!
